Quote for the Day:

Did they actually care about anything other than staying in power? Were they sincere about their commitment to a culture of life even when the cameras weren't rolling? Or were they, for all their bluster about the sanctity of the unborn and the unconscious, just hypocrites – big, fat hypocrites who, if the price were right, wouldn't hesitate to sell out every principle they claimed to be fighting for?

My research indicates that the answers are, respectively: yes, no, yes, yes, no, no – and, on that last question, more than you could ever, ever imagine.
